UNIQUE EXPERIENCES

Dolphin Encounters

Kiawah Island is home to a thriving population of bottlenose dolphins, but what truly sets this destination apart is the chance to witness one of nature’s rarest events – dolphin strand feeding. On Kiawah, these intelligent marine mammals work together to herd fish or shrimp onto sandbars, then surge from the water onto shore to feed – a dramatic & exciting behavior seen in only a few places on Earth. It’s a must-see wildlife moment that makes Kiawah’s waterways unforgettable.
